If your counseling work continues to be like this in the future, I don’t think you need to be evaluated by the Liming System, and you don’t need to stay in the Psychological Control Bureau.”

In an office, a middle-aged man with a mustache criticized the young man in front of him.

Lu Shu, who was sprayed with saliva, looked up with a sullen face.

Today is the fourth day of the dungeon. His current task is at the Psychological Control Bureau of Measurement City, where he is responsible for providing psychological counseling to the inmates in the surrounding areas of the city or in the asylum.

However, due to his extremely low empathy and speaking skills, the effect of the counseling... can only be said to be unsatisfactory. Some people even talked to him and became emotionally overloaded on the spot, achieving reverse therapy.

"Theodore, get ready to work." A colleague came to inform him: "Today we are working in the fringe area. The residents here are generally violent, so please pay attention to safety."

"Okay." Lu Shu reluctantly stuffed several thick books on the table into his arms and walked into a room.

The psychological counseling room is pure white, separated by wooden horizontal panels in the middle. People receiving counseling will sit on the other side. It is like a confessional in a church, and both parties cannot see each other.

Lu Shu closed the door with a lazy expression. He was too lazy to care about the emotional pressure of the person opposite. He was a psychological counselor with very no professional ethics.

"Name." Lu Shu asked casually.

"Lovis." A low and gentle male voice came from the other side of the board.

Lu Shu's ears twitched slightly. The voice was a bit pleasant, much better than the vulgar and swear words he had heard in the past few days.

"Gender." Lu Shu pressed the button on his left wrist, and a transparent keyboard panel appeared. He tapped on the keyboard and began to record information routinely.

"Same as you." The other person said.

"..." Lu Shu said: "Age."

"Maybe in his twenties? I can't tell." The other person said.

Lu Shu took a deep breath. He knew that he might have encountered another strange person. This answer was not serious at all.

He has been doing psychological counseling these days and has met all kinds of weird people. Many of them are depressed, bipolar or crazy. Some people are better at counseling people than he is.

"In what aspects are you stressed? I can help you." Lu Shu said calmly.

"I'm not under any pressure. I just came to see what the psychological counseling process is like. By the way, can you help me contact someone like your minister?" said the other person.

"Impossible." Lu Shu said. How could he let such a dangerous person in the fringe area contact his leader.

"Then...psychiatrist, can you listen to me tell a story?" said the other person.

Lu Shu raised his eyelids.

There was a wooden board in front of him, so he couldn't see the faces of the people at the opposite table, and could only hear the voices coming from him.

"You tell me." Lu Shu opened the book in his hand. As a psychological counselor, he has to chat with each requester for at least five minutes. This is his job. Listening to a story is at least better than being molested by the requester.

good.

"Let me tell you a story... about the Fringe Zone. It starts with a little girl who lost her parents due to mechanical warfare..." said the other person.

Lu Shu listened indifferently and browsed through the thick book in his hand.

The cover of the book is "Summary of the Forum on Lighthouse Theory and the First Player". This is a book he picked up from a small stall during his break in the Lord God World. The content is concise and suitable for learning.

However, a minute after the other party told the story, Lu Shu closed the book in his hand.

Three minutes after the other party spoke, Lu Shu raised his head and his eyes became a little hazy.

Five minutes after the other party told the story, Lu Shu loosened his fingers and the book in his hand fell to the ground. He had no idea.

When the other party stopped telling, Lu Shu was completely attracted by the story he told. He immediately asked: "What happened next? What happened after the story?"

The other party didn't speak, and the room was silent except for the slight "click" of the clock on the wall.

At this time, Lu Shu was surrounded by a heart-wrenching sense of urgency. He felt very uncomfortable - what was going on in the story behind him? Why did it stop here? He was dying of anxiety!

He hadn't yet felt that his mentality had changed drastically from five minutes ago. He was completely attracted by the story told by the other party and fell into a hypnotic state. "You tell me one by one, later,

What happened to the little girl later...?" Lu Shu wanted to break through the wooden board in front of him, and grabbed the other person's collar to ask him to continue talking.

"It seems that the effect of [Missionary Halo] is very obvious." The other party suddenly said this.

Lu Shu was slightly startled. His brain was still in a temporary state of stagnation and he couldn't understand what the other party was saying.

"If I continue to tell you this story, would you like to introduce me to your minister?" the other party said.

"I..." Lu Shu subconsciously wanted to agree.

But soon, the spirit points he clicked vaguely reminded him of something, a struggling expression appeared on his face, and his eyes blinked slightly,

There was a moment of clarity.

"Okay, it doesn't look like that." The other party laughed, turned around and left. Lu Shu stood there and it took a full ten minutes for him to recover.

...What happened to him just now?

Lu Shu fell into panic.

With his current level of strength, it is difficult for him to be affected by mental influences. Most of even pure mental attacks can be defended by him.

But why... just after hearing a simple story, he was led by the nose as if he had lost his mind?

Who is the other party?

Su Mingan opened the door and left the temporary psychological aid branch in the third district of the edge area. He turned back and glanced at the large movable building.

Early this morning, he heard that the Psychological Assistance Department had temporarily moved to this area and seemed to be providing free psychological counseling. He immediately came to join in the fun and try out his missionary aura to the psychiatrist.

As a result, the experimental results were very gratifying.

This is a subtle skill. As long as someone can chat with him for a few words, they will involuntarily fall into the situation of his words. The longer the time, the better the effect. Just now he just told a short story for five minutes.

It was like he was addicted, almost begging him to continue talking.

If he continues talking for more than ten minutes, the other person will probably introduce him to the minister directly.

It is indeed a gold-level skill. Although it does not have an intuitive killing effect, it is very easy to use.

"Ding dong!"

Su Ming'an lowered his eyes and saw that in the team chat, Lu Shu was madly complaining about the situation he had just encountered. Lu Shu claimed that he must have encountered the World Wave SS, otherwise he would not have such terrifying psychological suppression.

[Su Mingan (8:02): Is there a possibility that that person is me?] [Lu Shu (8:03):…]

"Ding dong!"

[Lu (8:03): Is there a possibility...are you really the world boss of the ninth world?] [Su Mingan (8:03): Not ruled out.] Close the chat interface, Su Mingan plans to enter the city, edge

The area has no value anymore.

When passing by the small bungalow, he saw Dong Anan squatting on the ground, playing with a scrapped android.

"Dear... don't be... afraid... in the dark..."

The android's voice kept getting stuck, his appearance was covered with dust, and a large part of his body was corroded, leaving only the sound-producing device still singing automatically.

This song was heard by Su Ming'an in Central City. It was an early popular song, and many androids have loaded the corresponding track module.

Although bionic people have human appearance and intelligence, they do not have human rights. They are tools like machines. The only special thing is that they can marry humans, but they will also be attached to humans in the marriage.

After being abandoned or scrapped due to problems, they will be transported on airships and discarded, mixed in airdropped resource boxes.

[Are you back?] Dong Anan saw Su Mingan in the wheelchair and spoke in sign language.

"Well, I'm leaving." Su Mingan passed by her.

Upon hearing this, Dong An'an's originally smiling face dimmed slightly.

"I will come back later." Su Mingan said.

Dong Anan smiled again.

[I'm waiting for you to come back.] She said in sign language: [I haven't yet, thank you for saving me.]

"Yeah." Su Mingan responded.

Dong Anan still has the Dawn Code on her body, and now her favorability level is stuck at 60 points. He needs to do other things first.

When he was about to leave, Su Mingan saw a girl walking towards him with a black bread bag.

The girl no longer wore the red cloak she wore at night, which seemed to be a symbol of "night occupation". At this time, she had already wiped off the brightly colored lipstick,

Just like an ordinary girl aged sixteen or seventeen.

She coughed and looked a little embarrassed when she saw Su Ming'an. After all, they had only met at night.

She did not dare to look directly at him, and raised the black bread slightly. The long bread blocked her dim eyes, and the bruises on the back of her hands were particularly obvious in the sun.

As he passed by her, Su Mingan heard her voice. It was a voice that gradually faded away, as if it was about to disappear in the wind. "Thank you for taking care of my sister," she said.

"You're welcome." Su Mingan said.

She said no more, just passed him silently, like a gust of wind about to dissipate.

Ten minutes later, Su Ming arranged to line up behind the team entering the third ring area and observe the checkpoint in front.

When entering the third ring area from the edge area, the inspection is not very strict, just pass the checkpoint inspection. The edge area is essentially inside the city of measurement.

Below the checkpoint, there are four identity scanners operating simultaneously at a distance of five meters. Next to it are three teams of six people stationed in a row. The soldiers are equipped with a standard submachine gun, a pistol, a bulletproof vest and a steel shield.

.Once a conflict occurs, the eagle and dog mechanical troops stationed in the third ring area can be notified through the siren at any time.
